Pipa line

Tsuchiura, who was driven out by his mother to help with the shopping, was walking slowly along the small road along the river with his shopping bags in his hand. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at a figure inadvertently: "...Yuesen?"

The figure paused and turned around.

"It's really you?" Tsuchiura walked over quickly, still feeling a little unbelievable: "What a surprise..."

"What's wrong?" Yuesen put down the violin on his shoulder and looked at him suspiciously.

"I never thought that you would practice piano here... I thought if it was you, you would definitely go to a professional practice room to practice piano." Tsuchiura shrugged indifferently: "Why? What's wrong with your mood? Change?"

"...There is no particular reason, I just think this place is quiet enough."

"Oh." Tsuchiura responded indifferently, obviously not particularly concerned about Yuesen's answer: "Oh, by the way, you are teaching Hino how to practice the piano, right?"

"...It's not teaching, it's just that she will come to me when she has a problem."

"That guy looks very happy, thank you." At this time, Tsuchiura was not in a hurry to leave, he put the shopping bag at his feet, and looked at the sea leisurely with his elbows on the railing: "That Hino always calls people The guy who is worried, really needs someone else's care..."

The sea breeze gently blows the waves, and birds flutter their wings in the sky.

Seeing Tsuchiura like this, Tsukimori frowned slightly.

"..."

He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to ask: "... Tsuchiura, what do you like about Hino?"

"...Huh!?" Tsuchiura's hand on the railing slipped violently.

"Sorry, I also know that I'm too presumptuous." In order to be able to concentrate on the conversation, Yuesen simply put the violin back into the case and locked it: "I'm just curious."

"You...I...that, no, wait," Tsuchiura stuttered, "You, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

"That's why I apologize to you."

"..." means you can't answer if you don't answer, right?

Tsuchiura scratched his hair in embarrassment. At first he wanted to evade a few words, but under Tsukimori's serious gaze, he answered honestly: "...Hino, is she very straightforward? I don't either. I know whether to say she is focused or straightforward, maybe it should be said that she is very courageous at critical moments, and she has a very straightforward and strong..."

Tsukimori's eyes flashed in front of the girl's black eyes that were astonishingly bright as if burning flames in the third selection competition.

"Well... how should I put it? Sometimes even if I extend a helping hand, in the end I still feel that I was actually helped by her..."

The first time he met her was in the hallway, and she helped him.

"But occasionally there is a cute side..."

Her eyes sparkled as she stared at the delicious takoyaki.

"...Damn it!" Tsuchiura finally couldn't take it anymore and grabbed his bangs: "Why do I have to tell you this!"

Yue Sen patted him on the shoulder understandingly: "It's okay."

"..."

"Your eyesight is actually pretty good."

"..."

Tsuchiura really felt that there was something wrong with the way he went out today.

"Lian," Hamai Misa bent her fingers and tapped on the door twice: "Are you free now? Excuse me?"

Yue Sen, who was leaning against the window and staring blankly at the moon, came back to his senses: "Yes, I'll be right here."

"All the formalities at the school have been completed." Misa Hamai took a sip of black tea: "I've already contacted you about accommodation and so on. You can leave at any time."

"...Ah," Yue Senlian nodded, "I see."

"Suddenly, there is a feeling that Lian has really grown up." Misa Hamai touched his arm: "Although it's not like you haven't gone abroad to participate in competitions before, but this time is different from the previous ones after all... ...Lian will stay in Vienna for several years."

"Yes, I will definitely not disappoint you and my father's expectations of me." Yuesen lowered his eyes: "Please rest assured."

"Ah, by the way, and this one, I just received it this morning." Suddenly remembering something, he took out a pick-up list from the bag beside him: "You asked Mr. It's done."

"Thank you." Yuesenlian reached out and took it.

"Why do you ask Mr. Nakata to do this?" Misa Hamai asked curiously, "Who are you going to give it to?"

"...Ah." Yuesen nodded.

"Hmm... let me guess, is it for that Miss Liu Weiming?"

"Yes."

"...Hey, let me tell you, Lian." Misa Hamai looked at her son with some helplessness: "You should prepare a more romantic gift anyway?" He doesn't know how to play the violin, what are you doing with this?

"Romantic?" He unconsciously rubbed the list in his hand: "Sorry, that's all I can think of."

"And," he added, "I think that's good too."

For him, the violin is irreplaceable and important.

So...he wanted to give it to her.

After all, it was his own son, Misa Hamai changed his mind, and quickly guessed his thoughts very closely.She put down the black tea cup and sighed softly.

This child...is really the same as his father back then.

It's night, the teakwood house.

Azuma Teak sat alone on the wooden steps connecting the room to the courtyard, his gaze fell quietly in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Azuma..." A pair of arms wrapped around his neck from behind.

"Xiaoya." Without looking back, he called out her name as if he knew she would come.

"Brother Azuma..."

Yu Muya let go of him, sat down next to him, and lightly pressed her head against his shoulder: "... grandma, did she... agree?"

"Half and half." Yuzuki Azuma said flatly: "Grandmother agreed to let me finish my university studies here, but I have to go to the UK to study business as a graduate student."

"That's good enough." She blinked. "It's already a big concession for grandma."

"Well, I know." Yuki Azuma lowered her eyes and smiled: "In her heart, the Yuki family will always be the first. I am content."

"..." Yukiya quietly lay on his knees.

"Xiaoya." Yuki Azuma stroked her long hair, just like they used to do when they were young: "Brother Azuma will bring you a sister-in-law, okay?"

Yumuya sat up in surprise: "...Brother Azuma?"

She paused: "...Yes, that lady?"

"Ah."

Yuki Azuma looked up at the deep night outside the courtyard: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to confess to her..."
